Adele was third on the list of artists that make Brits proud with 48% of the vote, followed by Pink Floyd (46%) and Oasis (32%).

Two thirds (64%) of Brits stated that they are proud of the country's musical heritage.

Jamie Ford, Plusnet CEO, said: "With pride being at the center everything we do and music being one of the most popular things streamed and downloaded on our award-winning broadband we thought it would be interesting to see which artists the country took pride in.

"It's fascinating to see that it's the bands that have been successful over a period of time, rather than the most contemporary artists, which have topped the poll."
